Josh Allen Shines with Six Touchdowns in Bills Victory
The Buffalo Bills’ quarterback, Josh Allen, delivered a stellar performance last Sunday, leading his team to a resounding victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a score of 44-32. Allen demonstrated his versatility by achieving three passing touchdowns and three rushing touchdowns, an accomplishment that places him in a select group in NFL history. Bills right tackle Spencer Brown summed up Allen’s performance concisely: “He had two turnovers, but then he got six touchdowns. That sounds good to me.” Allen managed to turn around a start with some inaccurate passes and two interceptions, finishing the game with 317 passing yards and 40 rushing yards on six attempts. In addition, he tied Cam Newton’s record for the most rushing touchdowns for a quarterback in the regular season (75).Wide receiver Khalil Shakir praised Allen, stating that he is “unreal in everything he does” and “the best player in the league, by far.” Coach Sean McDermott also highlighted Allen’s determination, noting that “he won’t be beaten.” A key aspect of the Bills’ success was the long passing game. Allen connected on a 43-yard pass to wide receiver Tyrell Shavers, who led the team with 90 receiving yards. This was Allen’s first touchdown pass of over 40 yards since the end of the 2022 season. The Bills achieved multiple passing touchdowns of 40 or more yards in a game for the first time this season. In addition, a short pass from Allen turned into a 52-yard play for running back Ty Johnson, and he also connected with James Cook for a 25-yard touchdown. Allen commented on the high score of the match: “I knew we would have to push ourselves and work hard. We made some plays today.” Although the running game didn’t have its best day, with 48 yards on 16 attempts by Cook, the Bills achieved 13 first downs thanks to Allen’s passes, who completed 5 of 8 passes for 134 yards and two touchdowns on throws of more than 15 yards.It’s a dog. It is what it is.
